To maintain a profitable company it is important that the
company's leaders do all that they can to ensure the efficiency and
effectiveness of the company's processes. Doing this results in faster
turnaround on projects and reduces the costs associated with operating
the business. Many companies are using virtualization platforms to
improve their efficacy and reduce the amount of money they spend on
outdated multiple server environments.
Multiple server environments have been used for years as companies'
business management systems but by default they create a tremendous
amount of waste. Each server is used to host a single application or
operating system that the company uses. This keeps the information safe
from corruption but also means that the extra space on the server is not
used to store additional information. This space accumulates across the
servers and creates inefficiencies.
Multiple server environments also create excess expenses due to the
costs of the servers. Each server requires a company to supply it with
power, store in a safe place and maintain the machine in addition to the
purchase price. In an environment with many servers these costs can add
up quickly.
Virtualization platforms eliminate the need for a company to purchase
multiple servers. The information is condensed onto a single machine to
eliminate the buildup of excess space and the costs associated with
using multiple machines. The information stored on the virtual server is
kept safe because each application or operating system is stored in its
own secure area. If one area is corrupted the others can still be used
and will not be affected.
Virtualization platforms are not without problems. Continuous
unnecessary I/O generation clogs bandwidth, competition for shared
resources can create conflicts that slow the system and space can be
wasted when dynamic disks do not shrink when data are deleted. These
problems cause the virtual platform to operate more slowly and limit
their efficiency.
V-locity 3 is a
virtualization platform disk optimizer that is designed
to provide virtualization platforms with the best protection against the
problems that can occur. Using unique technologies
V-locity 3 creates
optimal conditions on all VMware ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-v
hypervisor virtual platforms.
IntelliWrite(r) technology is used to prevent most fragmentation before
it happens. This eliminates the need for a later defrag process and
keeps the system running smoothly. V-Aware(tm) detects external resource
usage from other virtual machines to eliminate resource contention that
can otherwise exist on the same Host Server. Using CogniSAN technology
V-locity 3 will detect external storage usage on a shared storage system
and allow for transparent optimization because it does not compete with
other virtual machines.
Automatic zeroing of free space is an online process that zeroes out
unused data blocks on virtual disks and makes virtual disk compaction
easy. Using storage migration on a virtual platform can reclaim unused
free space to improve VM Density and energy efficiency. Special Virtual
Disk Auto Detection allows each V-locity Guest the ability to conform
its optimization settings to the type of virtual disk that the machine
is using.
Virtualization platforms improve a company's bottom line by eliminating
the excesses of multiple server environments. Improving speed and
efficiency are key aspects of improving business operations and reducing
the overhead costs required to establish the business management system
leaves more money in the budget for other priorities. Protecting a
virtualization platform is critical to its ability to perform and there
is no better way to protect it than by installing V-locity 3.
